New research has found that taking a daily vitamin and mineral supplement can slow the progression of late-stage dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), otherwise known as geographic atrophy (GA).

Dr Tiarnan Keenan from the National Eye Institute will be joining our November webinar to discuss these new findings in more detail and answer your questions.

Previously, supplements, based on the AREDS2 formula, have only been recommended for those with the earlier stages of AMD. Join us to learn how this promising discovery could help maintain vision and independence longer for those with late-stage dry AMD.
